Condition is very good considering the year. She had a minor restoration a few years ago. She starts easy and runs great. Clutch and transmission are smooth. Paint shows well still has a nice shine but grey is not the original color. Original color is an orange/yellow color. It has been grey for at least 15 years. It has a couple cosmetic flaws that you will see in the pictures but it's nothing major. Car is very original and has never been hit. Undercarriage is clean and solid. Fuel pump and battery are a couple years old. Rubber floor mats are brand new...
Now for the bad. Car leaves droplets of oil from time to time. There are no headrests and the front seat belts are missing. Also I can't get the front and passenger seats to slide back and forth maybe someone else can figure it out. The convertible top is in good shape other than a couple patches. 3 out of 4 tires are excellent. 1 is fair/good.
This is a one owner car. A 96 year old man in my neighborhood bought the car new. He absolutely adored this car and only drove it summers since I can remember. Due to his recent vision impairment a family member of his sold me the car. I have the original mass title dated 1979. I bought the car with intentions of cruising around in it but now realize I don't have the time to tinker with a 2nd vehicle nor do I have the room hence the reason I'm selling it. If you have any questions don't hesitate to call me at 4one3 four55 7zerozero1.....I'm putting my number like this because of the scammers that text.
I prefer to sell the car locally but if you are from out of state I'll be willing to make arrangements with you as long as buyer is making the arrangements and covering the costs for shipping. I have a right to end auction early as it is listed locally for sale.

Next Volkswagen Golf R to get 286 horsepower?
Tue, 12 Feb 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't launched in the United States just yet, but we're already setting our sights on the range-topping R model. According to Autocar, the next Golf R will be more powerful than the current version, producing 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful production Golf ever.
Powering the new Golf R will be a further evolution of Volkswagen's well-liked 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, and when mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the hotter hatch will reportedly be able to sprint to 62 miles per hour in five seconds flat. That's over half a second quicker than the current US-spec model.
Other updates for the new Golf R include the addition of VW's Haldex 5 all-wheel-drive system found in the latest iteration of 4Motion. Furthermore, thanks to the use of lightweight materials, the new R is expected to weigh in around 2,650 pounds - that's a massive 675 pounds less than the current US-spec car. The exhaust has reportedly been reworked to provide more aural delight, as well.
2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet
Thu, 07 Mar 2013The Golf VI's Last Hurrah Is Pure Niche
This was in the heart of the ultra-chic Côte d'Azur during winter. The car to be tested was the not-for-North America 2013 Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet. Prevailing weather conditions here this time of year are bizarrely pleasant, as though a dome of Swarovski crystal has been placed over the entire region to protect it from any real winter spoiling things. And the zippy Golf R Cabriolet is a sports car designed precisely for this area's preciously narrow winding streets, as well as for the lofty budgets of its property owners.
So then why was it snowing like we were in northern Michigan? The weather front hit from the north like a swift kick to the Jordaches. The roof was open on this Candy White Golf R Cabrio and I, as is my wont, was determined through thick or thin to keep it retracted. It had been raining and sometimes sleeting like the End of Days, but I kept the lid cracked because the 261-horsepower cabrio - the most powerful convertible ever built by Volkswagen - was snipping along nicely as the bad weather blew over my head and wetted only the rear headrests.
Volkswagen Tiguan and Touareg take the R-Line
Mon, 14 Jan 2013
Volkswagen's Detroit Auto Show presence is big on utility this year, with the CrossBlue three-row concept vehicle occupying the lion's share of the limelight, both literally and figuratively. But that isn't stopping Volkswagen from lavishing attention on its already established crossover and sport utility vehicles with new R-Line derivatives. The Tiguan and its big brother Touareg are getting a host of look-faster items to increase their sporting appeal.
On the outside, the Tiguan R-Line receives handsome 19-inch alloys peering out from beneath fender extensions, premium lighting (bi-Xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lamps), along with matching side skirts and a liftgate spoiler. On the inside, sportier accommodations include aluminum trim and a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters. As with other R-Line models, there are no powertrain modifications to go with the more aggressive visuals (that being the province of R standalone performance models like the R32), though the suspension has been firmed up an unspecified amount. The Tiguan R-Line will be available in front- or all-wheel drive configuration.
